Det finns många fördelar med att ha gemensamma tekniska regler för bl a säkerhet, prestanda, dokumentation, utförande och skötsel av elprodukter, elanläggningar och metoder. Genom att utforma sådana standarder blir säkerhetskraven tydliga och utvecklingskostnaderna rimliga samtidigt som marknadens acceptans för produkten eller tjänsten ökar.

Många standarder inom elområdet beskriver tekniska lösningar och metoder som åstadkommer den elsäkerhet som föreskrivs av svenska myndigheter och av EU.

SEK är Sveriges röst i standardiseringsarbetet inom elområdet

SEK Svensk Elstandard svarar för standardiseringen inom elområdet i Sverige och samordnar svensk medverkan i internationell och europeisk standardisering. SEK är en ideell organisation med frivilligt deltagande från svenska myndigheter, företag och organisationer som vill medverka till och påverka utformningen av tekniska regler inom elektrotekniken.

SEK samordnar svenska intressenters medverkan i SEKs tekniska kommittéer och stödjer svenska experters medverkan i internationella och europeiska projekt.

Stora delar av arbetet sker internationellt

Utformningen av standarder sker i allt väsentligt i internationellt och europeiskt samarbete. SEK är svensk nationalkommitté av International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) och Comité Européen de Normalisation Electrotechnique (CENELEC).

Standardiseringsarbetet inom SEK är organiserat i referensgrupper bestående av ett antal tekniska kommittéer som speglar hur arbetet inom IEC och CENELEC är organiserat.

Arbetet i de tekniska kommittéerna är öppet för alla svenska

organisationer, företag, institutioner, myndigheter och statliga verk. Den årliga avgiften för deltagandet och intäkter från försäljning finansierar SEKs standardiseringsverksamhet och medlemsavgift till IEC och CENELEC.

Var med och påverka!

Den som deltar i SEKs tekniska kommittéarbete har möjlighet att påverka framtida standarder och får tidig tillgång till information och dokumentation om utvecklingen inom sitt teknikområde. Arbetet och kontakterna med kollegor, kunder och konkurrenter kan gynnsamt påverka enskilda företags affärsutveckling och bidrar till deltagarnas egen kompetensutveckling.

Du som vill dra nytta av dessa möjligheter är välkommen att kontakta SEKs kansli för mer information.

Annex ZZ (informative)

Coverage of Essential Requirements of EC Directive 2004/108/EC

This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and within its scope the standard covers all relevant essential requirements as given in Article 1 of Annex I of the EC Directive 2004/108/EC.

This Part 1 of the EN 61439 series alone does not give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the EMC Directive without another relevant part of the series (e.g. EN 61439-2 for power switchgear and controlgear assemblies). These product parts call up the applicable EMC requirements of EN 61439-1 for assemblies within their specific scope.

WARNING: Other requirements and other EC Directives may be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this standard.

(11)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this standard is to harmonize as far as practicable all rules and requirements of a general nature applicable to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (ASSEMBLIES) in order to obtain uniformity of requirements and verification for ASSEMBLIES and to avoid the need for verification to other standards. All those requirements for the various ASSEMBLIES standards which can be considered as general have therefore been gathered in this basic standard together with specific subjects of wide interest and application, e.g.

temperature rise, dielectric properties, etc.

For each type of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly only two main standards are necessary to determine all requirements and the corresponding methods of verification:

– this basic standard referred to as “Part 1” in the specific standards covering the various types of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies^;

– the specific ASSEMBLY standard hereinafter also referred to as the relevant ASSEMBLY standard.

For a general rule to apply to a specific ASSEMBLY standard, it should be explicitly referred to by quoting the relevant clause or sub-clause number of this standard followed by “Part 1” e.g.

“9.1.3 of Part 1”.

A specific ASSEMBLY standard may not require and hence need not call up a general rule where it is not applicable, or it may add requirements if the general rule is deemed inadequate in the particular case but it may not deviate from it unless there is substantial technical justification detailed in the specific ASSEMBLY standard.

Where in this standard a cross-reference is made to another clause, the reference is to be taken to apply to that clause as amended by the specific ASSEMBLY standard, where applicable.

Requirements in this standard that are subject to agreement between the ASSEMBLY manufacturer and the user are summarised in Annex C (informative). This schedule also facilitates the supply of information on basic conditions and additional user specifications to enable proper design, application and utilization of the ASSEMBLY.

For the new re-structured IEC 61439 series, the following parts are envisaged:

a) IEC 61439-1: General rules

b) IEC 61439-2: Power switchgear and controlgear ASSEMBLIES (PSC-ASSEMBLIES) c) IEC 61439-3: Distribution boards (to supersede IEC 60439-3)

d) IEC 61439-4: ASSEMBLIES for construction sites (to supersede IEC 60439-4) e) IEC 61439-5: ASSEMBLIES for power distribution (to supersede IEC 60439-5) f) IEC 61439-6: Busbar trunking systems (to supersede IEC 60439-2)

g) IEC/TR 61439-0: Guidance to specifying ASSEMBLIES.

This list is not exhaustive; additional Parts may be developed as the need arises.

LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR ASSEMBLIES –

Part 1: General rules

1 Scope

NOTE 1 Throughout this standard, the term ASSEMBLY (see 3.1.1) is used for a low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly.

This part of the IEC 61439 series lays down the definitions and states the service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements for low- voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.

This standard cannot be used alone to specify an ASSEMBLY or used for a purpose of determining conformity. ASSEMBLIES shall comply with the relevant part of the IEC 61439 series; Parts 2 onwards.

This standard applies to low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (ASSEMBLIES) only when required by the relevant ASSEMBLY standard as follows:

– ASSEMBLIES for which the rated voltage does not exceed 1 000 V in case of a.c. or 1 500 V in case of d.c.;

– stationary or movable ASSEMBLIES with or without enclosure;

– ASSEMBLIES intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming equipment;

– ASSEMBLIES designed for use under special service conditions, for example in ships and in rail vehicles provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with;

NOTE 2 Supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES in ships are covered by IEC 60092-302.

– ASSEMBLIES designed for electrical equipment of machines provided that the other relevant specific requirements are complied with.

NOTE 3 Supplementary requirements for ASSEMBLIES forming part of a machine are covered by the IEC 60204 series.

This standard applies to all ^ASSEMBLIES whether they are designed, manufactured and verified on a one-off basis or fully standardised and manufactured in quantity.

The manufacture and/or assembly may be carried out other than by the original manufacturer (see 3.10.1).

This standard does not apply to individual devices and self-contained components, such as motor starters, fuse switches, electronic equipment, etc. which will comply with the relevant product standards.
